Looking at results everywhere now.

Failed too.

We crushed them both. Not even close.

born & raised missouri girl (now living in IL) - from josh hawley to eric schmitt, there is nothing but criminality coming from that state. gone are the days of mccaskill, eagleton, carnahan, etc. ps: why pay state taxes when you already receive $3B more in federal taxes than you pay in???

Fuck Trump 🖕🖕🖕

That's what Biggs wants to do in Arizona if he becomes governor

But will it matter to the Republican government?

What a nuts idea

No one has logically been able to explained to me how MO gets away with overturning bills that are voted on and passed. It really is remarkable. Not sure how other states conduct such things

Did the same in WV. F'ers just got their pals together and passed it anyway.

Next week: "Missouri GOP enact amendment 5 anyway, voters shrug and say 'well what are ya gonna do'"

This is great. Sales tax is the most illiberal form of taxation - disproportionately harming lower income families

It’s true-I made the grave mistake of living in Holts Summit for two years. What a godforsaken hellscape, in so many ways. Thankful to be in the PNW now.

Omg. Too funny.

I literally think that when the Capitol dome comes into view when I'm driving on Highway 63.

Turns out voters prefer progressive taxes over a regressive patch that bricks the poor’s spending power. Guess they read the EULA.

No doubt GOP lawmakers will ignore the votes and still implement a policy that gives them 100% of the power to do what they want. Also see: ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/04/30/o...

I think it was a flat "non resident tax" or something. Purchases over so many dollars get charged a flat rate for non residents. So only montata residents really benefited.

Wyoming has no income tax as well, and I think MT realized what was going on. I'm not sure if it's still a thing, but I know it used to be.

Montana also doesn't have sales tax.

This is the argument happening in FL right now. However, the state is not brandishing it this way. They are screaming own your home by getting rid of taxes. Nothing is advising how local rates will increase. Commissioners are advising no problem, while internal folks are worried they wont have a job

Ugh. These need to be redesigned in so many places. Oregon is devastating with 9.9% right off the top with personal income tax on every dollar.

We also get taxed via every utility bill and other services like cell phones and internet. Again. All “necessary” services. Our property taxes are ridiculous…don’t get me started on that.

> Income tax in Oregon hits EVERYONE exactly the same…regardless of income. It’s not progressive WTF? No: Oregon state income tax is absolutely progressive, it has four different brackets rising from ~5 to ~10%, that's a rather different "hit" for different people.

waaah. like you are he only person in the whole wide world who has ever paid a tax.

Anything that gets delivered to Oregon soil is tax free. My relatives used to exploit that loophole for Xmas presents. Anything purchased at Amazon from anywhere else in the U.S., but delivered to Oregon…tax free. It’s weird.

Only if I get to watch, even if it’s on video!

How many decades does it take for red bible belt state citizens to wake up to the fact that Republicans christians do not support their lives or their state?

Are you filing a case against the presidents IRS immunity?

I can just imagine how dishonest. Glad I didn't see them, I might have thrown things at the TV.

Just another GOP gimmick that failed.

missouri is a welfare state - taking $3B more every year than they pay to federal taxes - despite having 2 economic 'engines' in stl & kc rural mo schools are going to 4day weeks, hospitals are closing & the state legislature continues to override multiple ballot issues that voters voted for

Good. Fuck the GOP.

Do Kansas if you haven't, rejected an amendment meant to build a conservative court to overturn women's health protections.

WE THE PEOPLE

Here's a breakdown for how the burden of (state) taxes falls upon different income levels. itep.org/washington-w...

That is how other failed red states turned into the sorry state they're in.

No, to the great wealth transfer? Thank you, Missouri! 🎉

A victory because it won’t be a state constitutional amendment. But the legislature could still repeal the income tax. We need to remember that when we vote in November!!

Good on em. Fuck that regressive tax

Wait for Florida to vote on this...

I’m proud to say my parents were actively educating all voters about what the amendment would actually do to regular people; especially small business owners.

Doesn't sound very progressive.

The GOP is ever so tricky.

I’m proud of Kansas! I hope they continue to back democracy because we definitely need it so bad right now!

People are waking up.

Red States simply ignore these ballet measures.

There are always going to be wealthier people. There always have been. Wealthy people are not interested in government for everyone. Wealthy folks don’t need government for everyone. Wealthy folks only want to make more to have more and persecute those who need a hand.

Here’s my happy dance! I voted NO on both of those amendments.

Basically uninformed and bamboozled?

This doesn't mean jack to those homoculi in Jeff City.

Literally passed the most comprehensive abortion protections in the nation and voted in an entire state full of reps dedicated to preventing it from taking effect and repealing it on the same ballot It's maddening

do we try? the same ones voting for progressive policies vote red down the ticket. folks don’t seem to understand the relationship there….

Cue the gerrymandered GOP legislature to overrule this in 3-2-1....

Being a lifetime Missourian I was pleasantly surprised that people showed up with their voice. Now will the GOP try to reword it or try to circumvent the vote with some shady shit.

Good! The GOP would have put the money in their pockets and never helped the people.

Another way to rip you off

I have to pay sales tax in Montana as a Wyoming resident. Every time I've made a significant purchase in Montana, I get ID'd and charged sales tax. Smokes, booze, groceries, stuff like that is insignificant.

The wording was very vague. Allowed the legislators to tax anything at any rate. Most in Missouri pay about 5% in income tax. Projected sales taxes were 20% on Everything including child care, rent and Healthcare and regularly taxed items. This was going to cost MO

Good! They realized that only the rich benefit from that.

Hopefully Missourians will reject all things gop on Nov. 3.

🥳

Missouri voters sure seem to disagree with their elected representatives a lot. It's almost like the districts are skewed to silence the voice of the people. Vox Populi Vox Dei.

You make more money that new way 🙄

#30million8/30 Why is it that the most obvious thing to do is the least likely thing to happen? The nation will move in the direction we take it. We possess all of the power. STOP READING THE HEADLINES! RISE UP! OVERTHROW! END FASCISM IN AMERICA!

🥳🥳🥳

We have also spiked the anti-democratic Amendment 4!

At this point, the question isn't what Trump will say next, it's how much nonsense people are willing to tolerate. The chaos, insults, and constant obsession have become impossible to ignore.

Are they—are they starting to come to their senses?

Just like MO voters won 2overturn the abortion law 2 yrs ago, R's who had control in MO for 20+ yrs, decided 2go against the will of the voters & take it 2court. Thankfully, the R state judges decided against the Republicans & their tactics. Same could happen with amendment 4 & 5.

Florida should drop property taxes on the poorest of us and make up for it on the wealthy end. Thank god I have a Habitat for Humanity home/mortgage, zero property tax. Not sure if that stands in perpetuity or only until the mortgage is paid.

I was one of those voters

Amendment 4 is bigger news.

right on! i voted against it this morning.

good, sales taxes hit working people the hardest anyway. glad missouri saw through it

It can be done, and fairly!

UNLESS like in my state (sales tax, no income tax) you exempt Food, Medical care and rent; which make up about 90% or more of what the poorest of citizens spend their few dollars on. I know. I was born in WA State in 1961, and spent my life here. I was poor as could be most of it.

Neither of those things tax billionaires. Come on!

YES WE DID!!! 😁

GOP literally asking people to vote for more taxes on them, less on wealthy. Shocking it didnt work.

We also overwhelmingly rejected handing OUR power to the scumbag MO GOP by kicking the shit out of Amendment 4. And @fpwellman.bsky.social won his primary & will be handing Ann Wagner her pink slip in the general. Well done, MO!

Seems like a good idea to me, pay tax on what you buy, not what you have. How do other states with this system like it? - Texas for example.

washington has no income tax, but the sales tax is 10% and property taxes are pretty high. The only income tax will be for millionaires

Well do to them! Kansas also voted against amendment 4 which would have turned judges into pay to play politicians.
